Summary

HEY NETWORK I DARE YOU TO THROW ME OFF THE AIR! The date is June 2nd, 2000 and ECW is at odds with their network TNN. WWF is about to move to TNN after they were given 100 million dollars. Paul Heyman and ECW aren’t happy. So what is the best thing to do? Do a shoot promo on the air of ECW Hardcore TV and air your grievances. Was this a good idea? Probably not. But, it made for some great television. Also, Kid Kash and The Baldie Grimes do battle, Tony Mamaluke makes his ECW debut, and Rhino defends the ECW TV Title against The Sandman. AND FOR THAT, WE THANK YOU!
